And do yourself a huge favor. Repeat to yourself every morning (and anytime you get frustrated), "Developers are friends not food". I use that analogy intentionally, you are selling to the most critical market you will ever sell to. Not just other developers, which is bad enough, but Apple/iO

For reference, I’m not convinced that you needed them here, but instead, that you didn’t devote enough thought to how that UI should work on a touch screen. There’s no reason why your preferences couldn’t have used a column of UISwitches. Your export panel could have used a UISegmentedControl

Hi Jason, Don't be too disappointed. This is exactly what The Lean Startup (a good read!) is all about and I am pretty sure quite a few of us have run into a situation like this ourselves. I was thinking about your remark on the radio buttons. I could be wrong, but I think it is the only contro

Allright - thanks everyone - I feel like going and hiding beneath a rock or something - We put months of blood and sweat into this thing and did not focus on the one thing that matters - polish and presentation. I am already going through the website and fixing the inconsistencies. However, as you

Also one more thing - A few of you messaged me about this privately - I am quite surprised why everyone is looking at the checkbox/radio button exclusively - This is such a tiny part of the whole thing - we actually built it just because we needed it inside the our main DataGrid product (multi sele

All, thanks for your candid feedback - I realize we have some work to do, but I am glad to see the feedback. If there is anything else you think we can address, please free to bring it on - we can take it! The one thing I would like to add, we;re not a design company - we are a component vendor -

Good URL. The components don't really feel like they fit on iOS. Feels more like a XP UI than iOS. From your website, it seems like the components have lots of good features, but you should definitely hire a designer with iOS experience to help them feel at home on the platform... Thanks, Jo
